Shimano cassettes XT and Dura Ace

Hi
I am just getting into XC riding and I want to change the rear gearing to something like 11-23 for more choice at higher speed. Can I swap the current XT for Dura Ace or Ultegra does anybody know?

Hi there cyclists,

Anyone have much experience with Zipp wheels ?
